The DC Snow Gridlock of Jan 26 2011
I started my drive home about 6:30pm, thinking the traffic would be subsided, but of course it wasn’t.  I drive a Jeep Wrangler, 4X4 and so I put the 4x4 in gear and started driving.  The parking lot was empty by the time I left, but the roads were completely full.  I started down my path towards Willard Rd.  Took about an hour to get even close to 28.  And then the traffic just stopped for...

Heres to the Crazy Ones...
Heres to the crazy ones. The Misfits, Rebels, trouble makers, round pegs in the square holes, The ones who see things differently. They don’t follow the rules and have no respect for the status quo.   You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them.  The only thing you can’t do, is ignore them, because they change things.  They push the human race forward.

Obama keeps spending us into Debt.
I really like how Obama spends Tax payer money to try and pump money back into the economy, but once spent will then be tax payer dollars again allowing the government to make more money off the people that need it the most.  Vicious cycle anyone?  Why can’t they just learn to lower taxes which creates both more revenue and jobs.  It might fire a few government employees, but have you seen...

Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men...
Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army; another had two sons captured. Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the Revolutionary War. They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor. What kind of men...
